双酚A人工抗原的光谱表征及免疫鉴定研究

双酚A(bisphenol A,BPA)是一种酚类环境雌激素,即使极低剂量残留对人类健康也有危害。为了建立其简单快速并适应现场检测的免疫分析方法,必须先合成它的人工抗原并进行鉴定。通过对双酚A进行结构修饰,用碳二亚胺将结构修饰了的双酚A与牛血清蛋白相偶联,经透析得到纯的双酚A人工抗原并冷冻干燥备用。然后用紫外光谱、红外光谱和免疫方法对人工抗原进行鉴定。结果表明,合成的人工抗原紫外光谱图中具有蛋白质和双酚A的特征吸收峰;人工抗原红外光谱图中呈现双酚A和牛血清蛋白的红外特征吸收峰;通过竞争ELISA试验表明用合成的人工抗原免疫的Balb/c小鼠血清中产生了双酚A的抗体。三种方法综合鉴定结果表明双酚A人工抗原合成成功,该人工抗原可以进一步用于制备抗双酚A的单克隆抗体。     

α decay energies and half-lives from a macroscopic-microscopic model

α decay energies of 323 heavy nuclei with Z≥82 are evaluated with a macroscopic-microscopic model.In this model,the macroscopic part is treated by the continuous medium model and the microscopic part consists of shell and pairing corrections based on the Nilsson potential.α decay half-lives are calculated by Viola-Seaborg formula.The results of α decay energies and half-lives are compared with experimental values and satisfactory agreement is found.The recoiling effect of the daughter nucleus on α decay half-life is also discussed.     

Numerical Simulation of Random Close Packing with Tetrahedra

The densest packing of tetrahedra is still an unsolved problem. Numerical simulations of random close packing of tetrahedra are carried out with a sphere assembly model and improved relaxation algorithm. The packing density and average contact number obtained for random close packing of regular tetrahedra is 0.6817 and 7.21 respectively, while the values of spheres are 0.6435 and 5.95. The simulation demonstrates that tetrahedra can be randomly packed denser than spheres. Random close packings of tetrahedra with a range of height are simulated as well. We find that the regular tetrahedron might be the optimal shape which gives the highest packing density of tetrahedra.     

Formation of nano-crystalline and amorphous phases on the surface of stainless steel by Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation

Thin surface layers consisting of nano-crystalline and amorphous phases on the surface of stainless steel have been attained under the Nd:YAG pulsed laser irradiation. The phases and microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The phase compositions of the surface determined by XRD were α-Fe (ferrite) and γ-Fe (austenite) or only γ-Fe in the near surface region on the bases of the different laser power densities. The nano-crystalline grains with sizes of 4-100 nm could result from high cooling rate and crystallization in amorphous region by homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. The formation of the amorphous phase was attributed to the higher cooling rates.     

Y_3Al_5O_(12)∶Ce~(3 )的合成及真空紫外发光性质

采用高温固相反应及共沉淀法合成Y3-xAl5O12∶Ce3x (x=0.01,0.03,0.05,0.07,0.09)黄色系列粉末状发光材料。经X射线衍射分析产物为单相,属立方晶系,其结果与JCPDS标准卡(88-2047)相符。分析了两种方法合成的粉末样品的SEM照片,发现共沉淀法不仅能降低合成温度,对细化粉体晶粒粒度也有较大作用。检测了材料的真空紫外激发光谱和发射光谱。发现,Y3Al5O12∶Ce3 的真空紫外激发光谱,在100~300nm范围内呈三个带状峰,峰值分别在126,177,230nm附近。随着Ce3 含量x由0.01增加到0.05,YAG∶Ce3 发射强度逐渐增加到最大值,之后随着x继续增加其发射强度逐渐下降,呈现明显的浓度猝灭现象。     

The pertinence of expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) to the efficacy of cryopreservation in HELAs

HELAs (Hela cells, passed cells of human cervical carcinoma) were heat or cold treated (named heat or cold shock) and then resumed normal culture for 2, 4 or 8 hours respectively. The expressions of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and 90 (HSP90) of the HELAs were measured by Northern and Western blotting. HELAs after 4-hour culture were exposed to or cryopreserved with different concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively, V/V). Meanwhile, the HELAs after different culture time (2, 4 and 6 hours of culture) were cryopreserved with 5% Me2SO. After exposure or cryopreservation, the number of live HELAs was counted and the survival rate was calculated. The results showed that heat shock increased the expression of HSP70 and HSP90 of HELAs, while cold shock decreased the expression of the two proteins. When the concentrations of Me2SO were 10%, 15% and 20%, the survival rates of HELAs after exposure to Me2SO or cryopreservation were much lower than those when the concentrations were small. The survival rates of the heat shocked HELAs were significantly higher than those of the cold shocked and control HELAs. After cryopreservation with 5% Me2SO, the survival rate of heat shocked HELAs group with 2 hours culture time was the lowest among all the groups of HELAs with different cultural time. From the results of this study, we conclude that the expressions of HSP70 and HSP90 in HELAs increased significantly after heat shock, while cold shock decreased the expressions of these two proteins. The over-expressions of HSPs in the heat shocked HELAs could protect the cells from both injury caused by potential toxicity of high concentrations of Me2SO and cryoinjury caused by the freeze-thawing/cryopreservation procedure.     

Photocatalytic performance of ZnO:Fe array films under sunlight irradiation

ZnO:Fe array thin films were prepared by the hydrothermal method using the sol-gel grown film as a seed layer. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet/visible absorption spectra (UV-vis) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were investigated for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under sunlight irradiation. The results show that the lattice constant a and the cell volume of ZnO:Fe film increase due to the substitution of Fe for Zn. The absorption edge of Fe-doped ZnO displays a red shift with a significant absorption between 600 and 700 nm. The ZnO:Fe array film is composed of disk particles with uniformity and compactness. Doping Fe ions enhances the photodegradation rate of ZnO array film for MB. 1.5% Fe doped ZnO sample exhibits the highest activity under irradiation time of 4 h. Its degradation rate increases about 1.6 times compared to the undoped ZnO.     

High-power 880-nm diode-directly-pumped passively mode-locked Nd:YVO₄ laser at 1342 nm with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror

A high-power 880-nm diode-directly-pumped passively mode-locked 1342 nm Nd:YVO? laser was demonstrated with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The laser mode radii in the laser crystal and on the SESAM were optimized carefully using the ABCD matrix formalism. An average output power of 2.3 W was obtained with a repetition rate of 76 MHz and a pulse width of 29.2 ps under an absorbed pump power of 12.1 W, corresponding to an optical-optical efficiency of 19.0% and a slope efficiency of 23.9%, respectively.
